How does Panther or even Jaguar run on your B&W? Maybe there is a way to deactivate some background tasks or even some system daemons. I'm not an expert, but I once had Windows XP running on a machine that was below the minimum requirements concerning RAM. I had some "Windows services" deactivated which gave the system start a noticable boost. It was quite fast for such an old machine (AMD K6-3 CPU with 64 MB RAM). Only, after the start 64 MB RAM were used up and 1-2 MB were swapped to the HDD already. With no free RAM left launching even a simple program took ages...
